I don't have a problem with someone making money as long as it's not off my back. An xpat website from it's very nature can generate cash from advertisers who want to attract foreigners. I don't ever remember this being a not for profit organisation or a charity! So as long as the website is doing what it should do, I have no problems, after all who is putting the hours and work in the users or the owners/ volunteers ?

Unfortunately you're out of the loop Rick.

It isn't that the site can generate revenue. It's that the site is becoming a revenue generator.

WTF!!!?!?! YOU must be joking! :blink:

Well, the ODD thing is this:

Note: All ads must be approved and may take 12-24 hours to be approved.
(We'll try to do it sooner!)


So, if ads must be approved, then how is it that someone approved an ad in the classified section that was obviously against the TOS?

Is someone asleep at the switch?

I did a search for cute chinese boys and couldn't find anything except what was in the forum. I did find about 19 hits for cute chinese girls. If you find that ad, please let me know.

I mentioned it last week. It may have been removed since then by another administrator.

Speaking of administrators, do you think Jim will actually respond to a letter posted to him?
